Arrival & Transport

Lahti Sports Center is located near the city center. You can set your navigator to Salpausselänkatu 8. The most convenient way to reach the event is on foot: it takes approximately 10 minutes from the city center and 20 minutes from the railway and bus station.

There are two entrances to the event area:

• The main entrance with ticket sales is located near the roundabout between Salpausselänkatu and Svinhufvudinkatu.
• Vikin portti does not have ticket sales, so if you arrive via Hämeenlinnantie, you must purchase your ticket in advance.

The main entrance may get congested, especially on Saturday and Sunday mornings, so for smoother access, we recommend using Vikin portti.

Tickets & Entry

Only ticket holders can access the event area.

Tickets will be checked at the entrance, along with a security check. If you have purchased a discounted ticket, be prepared to show proof of eligibility at the gate.

Buying your ticket in advance is recommended, as purchasing at the gate includes an additional €5 service fee.

Keep your ticket safe! It works as a re-entry pass if you need to leave and return on the same day. However, remember to check out at the exit to ensure re-entry.

No dogs are allowed in the event area.

By Bicycle

You can cycle right up to the main entrance. A bicycle parking area is available next to the main gate on a gravel lot.

Park your bike and get 15% off at Lahden Polkupyörähuolto’s online store (discount applies to regular-priced items, excluding bikes and electronics).
